The OVN aims to cooperate with other academic organizations and university chairs in the Netherlands and abroad on projects that stimulate the development of the field of study. The support of the committee of recommendation facilitates international contacts, allowing the OVN to represent Dutch scholars in the field of study of freemasonry at an international level and to participate in newly for-med academic networks. The board welcomes any suggestions for joint conferences or other projects in the field of study.
